Hey guys, my 1997 Dyna Wide Glide came to me with a previously applied chain conversion.
My question for those familiar with this conversion is...should there be some sort of protection for the swing arm and/or that lower piece below the passenger foot peg?
Especially the lower one. It seems it would catch quite a bit of rub from the chain.
Swap back to a belt IMO unless it's got some serious engine work done and/ or you stunt ride it. Chain drives are just more maintenance and headache on these bikes. But I know bung king sells a chain slider for '06 and up bikes, not sure about the older ones like yours.

Was it rubbing when you got it?
Are you running Tall shocks?
Belts don't rub...What's changed? (besides chain and sprockets)
